DUBAI, Oct 27 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said on Tuesday they had launched an attack on Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura oil refinery, the biggest in the kingdom, located on the Gulf west of the Strait of Hormuz.
The group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a statement that the ballistic missile attack caused a fire at the site. The Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attack.
The Houthi militia have escalated their attacks on Saudi Arabia since September, opening another volatile front in the wider US-Israeli war on Iran.
